than 3,300 causes for cancer, in the
belief of Prof. K. H. Bauer, German
surgeon and cancer specialist, quoted

ping Journal. What’s more, 81.1 per

Whitewright and section has not
had any rain since Sunday night, for
which all are thankful. A mean
looking cloud about 3 a. m. Monday
sent many to storm cellars. The
cloud was accompanied by rain, hail,
lightning and high winds. A barn on
the farm rented by Irving Blanton,
northeast of Whitewright, was struck
by lightning and destroyed by fire.
The barn and contents and a trailer
load of cotton, stored in the barn,
were a total loss. A hay barn be-
longing to Herman Taylor of Ken-
tuckytown was blown from the
blocks. Others report minor damage
to outbuildings and roofs. The hail
did some damage to cotton northwest
of Whitewright, according to reports.
Farmers only got one day’s work
in the fields last week. Many started
work in fields Monday afternoon and
Tuesday others began work. The
rain was not so heavy northeast and
east of town as it was south and west
of town.
Farmers in this section need four
or five weeks of fair weather to get
their crops gathered.

Park’s famous geyser, erupts once

ORANGE.—Women jurors proved
tougher than men jurors Monday
night.
Three practice juries heard a mur-
der case lifted from court records. An
all women’s jury found the defendant
guilty. A jury half women and half
men gave the same verdict,
cisions agreed with the
verdict.
An all men’s jury voted
quital.
The practice trial was to help vot-
ers decide Nov. 8 on the proposed
constitutional amendment to allow
women to serve on Texas juries.
22 YEARS AGO
(From The Sun Sept. 22, 1927)
Cotton has dropped about $6 per
bale in price during the past week. It
is now bringing 21.75 to 22.25 local-
ly. 968 bales have; been ginned to

phone were, “Watson, come here; I

E. R. Eudaly, expert on feeding
hogs, will speak to the veterans vo-

room at 8 o’clock Monday night. He

His subject will be “Feeding Hogs.”

ans who were 40 or less at the time
they took out the policy. It gradual-
ly descends to a minimum rate of 20
cents a month, per $1,000, for age 55
or over at issue.
The ex-GIs get the same divident
rate for term or converted insurance
on the initial $2,800,000,000 dividend
to be declared next January.
But VA says future dividends will
be at higher rates for converted poli-
cies, especially in the .older age
brackets, as the cash value of the pol-
icies increase.
Eventually, the agency says, there
may be no more dividends whatever
on term insurance.
At various times several bills have
been introduced in Congress to lower
the NSLI premium rate. When their
sponsors learned that any reduction
could not be retroactive, the bills
were dropped.
Fire Escape At
Elementary School
Contractors this w,eek completed a
fire escape on the south side of the
Whitewright elementary school
building. It is built of steel and
makes the building safer for the stu-
dents. The escape was built to com-
ply with state laws.
A new roof was recently put on the
gym building at the high school and
the roof was repaired on the elemen-
tary school building.
A yawn may be bad manners, says
a writer, but is an honest opinion.
PARIS.—A new method of insect
control that’s showing up in bale-
per-acreage cotton production in La-
mar county is attracting statewide
attention.
The new-fangled insect control is
called pre-square poisoning. It was
sponsored by the Farmers Home Ad-
ministration in 13 Texas counties
this year, including Lamar where it
is believed the best results have been
obtained.
Poisons recommended by the U. S.
Department of Agriculture and Texas
A. & M. Extension Service were used.
The big thing seems to be that the
poisons were used extra early—be-
fore squares formed on the baby
stalks—to save the bottom crop.
Total pre-square poisoned acreage
in Lamar on 13 farms under the FHA
program amounts to 556 acres, ac-
cording to N. A. Cleveland, FHA
supervisor. Cleveland has been rid-
ing herd on the demonstrations ever
since he got them started last spring.
Much of the pre-square poisoned cot-
ton is making a full bale per acre.
Some will make more—in a season
when general production is consider-
ably lower.
Success of the pre-square program
on the 13 demonstrations in this
county has drawn considerable no-
tice. Many interested persons have
visited Lamar County to see the
demonstratiohs first-hand.
The bale-per-acre production on
FHA farms is especially outstanding
this year because yields over most of
Lamar County have been drastically
reduced by insects.
VAN ALSTYNE. — Two rolls of
copper wire, valued at approximate-
ly $160 were taken some time Satur-
day night from the Van Alstyne stor-
age house of Buck Clayton.
The wire was to be used In rural
electrification work. Tracks of a
truck were found near the house, but
no arrest had been made Monday.
It was the second time within five
days that a Van Alstyne business
house had been entered and property
valued at over $50 taken,
station was robbed early
along with it?
Ineligible Pass Receiver
Old Rule—When a forward pass hit
an ineligible receiver, the pass auto-
matically was incomplete.
New Rule—A pass is incomplete
only if the ball hits the ground or
goes out of bounds. If it hits an in-
eligible receiver and bounds loose,
it’s still a free ball.
Effect—Some wild scrambling you
haven’t seen before.
Free Ball Out of Bounds
Old Rule—When a free ball went
out of bounds, it belonged to the team
which last touched it, as in basket-
ball.
New Rule—When a free ball goes
out of bounds, it belongs to the team
which last had possession.
Effect—Makes it easier on the of-
ficials, who no longer have to make
difficult who-touched-it-last decis-
ions. Most of the times they could
only guess at this anyway, especial-
ly in the case of pile-ups.
These are the only rules which will
concern spectators for the most part,
although actually there are some 40
changes in the code. Many of these
are just rewordings to make things
simpler.
THE WHITEWRIGHT SUN
The Sun has been requested to an-
nounce that a caller and instructor
from Sherman will be at the Ameri-
can Legion home tonight (Thursday)
to instruct those who desire to learn
square dancing. There will be no ad-
mission charge and the lesson will be
free.
The sponsor, the American Legion
Auxiliary, invites all tp come and
learn together, since there are so few
who know how to dance the old-fash-
ioned square dance.
Talk to your neighbors instead of
about them. It improves the com-
munity spirit.
Mrs. A. R. Orenduff, president of
the American Legion Auxiliary, an-
nounces that the American Legion
Home will be open Friday night fol-
lowing the football game between
the Whitewright High School Tigers
and the Honey Grove High School
team to high school students and
members of the visiting lootball team
and high school students from Honey
Grove attending the game.
This will be the first meeting of
youths at the .Legion Home, which is
being sponsored by the Legion Aux-
iliary. It is the aim of the Auxiliary
to make the American Legion Home
a youth center and to sponsor pro-
grams.in the future for the youths of
the community. Ping pong, domi-
noes and other games will be played
Friday night and soft drinks will be
sold. New equipment for games will
be added as soon as funds are avail-
able.
The programs will be supervised
by parents, members of the Auxiliary
and American Legion.
Just because there has been a
slight’^decline, and just because the
cool months are ahead there should
be no let-up in efforts to control the
disease through universal health
sanitation, he said.
Platoon substitutions get the green
light and pass-catching T-formation

son.
After, all the whoop and holler

they ever have it anyway?), the new
regulations make it as easy as ever to
whip in alternating defensive and
offensive teams.

football team will meet the WHS Ti-
gers on Bryant Field at 8 o’clock Fri-
day night. The teams have been,
great rivals for many years and have
played a number of hard fought
games. Honey Grove was the only
team that defeated the Tigers last
season, and that was by only a one
point margin. The Tigers are out for
sweet revenge Friday night. This
will be one game you will not want
to miss. It is not a conference game.
The Tigers got off to a good start
Saturday night when they defeated.
Leonard 30 to 6 in the first game of
the season. The game was scheduled
at Leonard for Friday night, but on
account of rain it was postponed and
played in Whitewright. A much
larger number of Tiger fans were
present than expected, since the
transfer was not given much public-
ity. Some four hundred Tiger
boosters were present to give encour-
agement to the Tigers.
Three of the five touchdowns were
made by long runs, one for 85 yards
by Billy Brown. Three of the touch-
downs were credited to Brown and
one each to Bill King and Conway
Craig.
The Tigers are favored to win the
district championship by sports writ-
ers. They won the championship last
season and also the regional cham-
pionship, but have stronger competi-
tion this year. Give them your sup-
port.

Warren Proposes Idea
The Golden State already had
been in the vanguard—along with
Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey
and Washington—of states offering
their residents a cushion to absorb
the shocks of physical and economic
reverses. Before California did it in
1946, only Rhode Island had set up a
public disability insurance plan.
The idea of adding hospital bene-
fits to this program was first pro-
posed by California’s ' Republican
Gov. Earl Warren a few weeks be-
fore the state Legislature convened
the first of this year.
The Governor said he was suggest-
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Califor-
nia is preparing to throw into gear
the nation’s first state-operated hos-
pitalization benefit plan under a
public disability insurance program.
Some 3,000,000 wage earners will
be eligible under the plan to receive
hospital benefits up to 12 daily $8
cash payments, in addition to the $25
weekly payments currently allowed
for disability.
Persons entitled to these benefits j incurable, he adds.
However, Dr. Bauer has one cheer-
ful fact: Successful treatment and
cure of diseases has always been pre-
ceded by determination of its causes.
Among causes of cancer is strong
alcoholic beverages. German statis-
tics show that stomach cancer occurs
three times moro often, gullet cancer
255 times more often and tongue can-
cer 29 times more often among “bar-
room wards” than among ministers
and university professors.
Stomach cancer is found 11 times
more often among meat-eating peo-
ple than among rice-eating Malays.
Air pollution by soot and acid va-
pors in cities is classified as another
cancer cause.
WASHINGTON. — Does that fat
di vident World War II veterans are
collecting on their GI life insurance
mean a future drop in the premium
rate?
The Veterans Administration
lieves not.
It would take an act of Congress to
change the premium rate, one of the
agency’s insurance experts said to-
day.
Already the rate for the converted
policies—ordinary life, 20-pay life
and the various endowment forms—is
lower than that for most commercial
policies. - At the age 21 for the ordi-
nary life policy, for example, it is
$1.25 a month for each $1,000.
For term policies — simple insur-
ance, without the cumulative cash
value of the converted types—the
premium rate is about the same as
for commercial term insurance—65
cents a thousand a month at age 21
for example. But few if any com-
mercial companies pay dividents on
term insurance.
The forthcoming special dividend
on National Service Life Insurance is
at the rate of 55 cents a month for
each $1,000 of insurance, for veter-
have made it impossible for
formation quarterback. to catch
pass—unless he intercepts one.
Here is a rundown on the major
rule change for 1949:
Substitutions
Old Rule—Subs could come in any
time.
New Rule—Subs can enter the
game only when the clock already is
stopped, or when possession . of the
ball changes.
Effect—This will cut down on the
annoying stream of subs, entering the
game after-every play. But it makes
it easy to change full teams when the
ball changes hands.
T-Formation Quarterbacks
Old Rule—A player could stand
one yard behind the line of scrim-
mage and still be considered a back-
field man, eligible to catch a for-
ward pass.
New Rule—The player’s head—not
his feet — must be a yard back,
stamping out the possibility of some
longated chap being able to reach a
yard forward to the center. Also, no
man in position to receive a hand-to-
hand snap from the center can catch
a forward pass.
Effect—This means no T-formation
quarterback can catch a pass.
Intentional Grounding
Old Rule—Penalty of 15 yards
from line of scrimmage.
New Rule—Loss of down and five-
yard penalty from spot of foul.
Effect—Eliminates the motive for
a trapped passer to ground the ball
instead of being tackled for a loss. If
you’re going to lose a down and the
AUSTIN.—More eggs were laid by
fewer hens in Texas last month.
The U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture reported today that the August
egg production in the state was 207,-
000,000, 3 percent more than the
August 1948 production.
The number of layers on farms,
however, decreased by 3 percent
from a year earlier, according to
USDA figures.
More productive hens made up the
difference. The rate of lay at
per bird was 7 percent above
year and the highest on record
August.
Whitewright will have more than
25 young people in college the com-
ing year. The list probably is not
complete and other names may be
added to it as they are reported to
The Sun.
The following have already left
for school or will leave within the
next few days:

A state-wide leadership contest for
4-H Club girls has been entered by
one of Grayson County’s most out-
standing 4-H girls, accordingt to
Miss Zelma Moore, home demonstra-
tion agent.
Miss Betty Blackerby, senior high
school student at Whitewright and
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Alva
Blackerby, has submitted records of
her 4-H work to the home demon-
stration agent for forwarding to state
headquarters at A. & M. College.
The winner of the contest will be
selected on the basis or projects com-
pleted in 4-H work.
Miss Blackerby, who joined the
Whitewright 4-H Club when she was
12 years old, won a trip to Chicago
last year as winner in a national can-
ning contest. Also she was a dress
revue winner in the county contest
last year.
She has held every office in her
club at Whitewright, and every of-
fice in the county council. She was
selected 4-H Gold Star girl three
years ago on the basis of her all-
around activities in 4-H.

McKINNEY. — Separate funeral
services for Clifton Edward Lynn, 45,
and his divorced wife, Mrs. Hattie
Jewell Lynn, 42, who died as the re-
sult of bullet wounds following the
homicide and suicide shooting at Mc-
Kinney Tuesday about 4 p. m., were
held Wednesday.
Services for Mr. Lynn were held at
the Harris Funeral Chapel at 2 p. m.
The Rev. Earl Rogers conducted.
Services for Mrs. Lynn were held
at 4 p. m. at the Harris Funeral
Chapel. The Rev. Claus H. Rohlff
conducted. Both were buried in
IOOF Cemetery, near Princeton.
About 3:45 p. m. Tuesday, Mr.
Lynn went to the City Cleaners, in
the McKinney business section,
where his wife was working and aft-
er ordering the owner, H. L. Mott, to
leave the room, shot his wife twice
with a .38 caliber automatic and then
turned the gun on himself, according
to Marshall Padgett, police chief.
WASHINGTON. — If “socialized
medicine” means ’expenditure of
money by the Federal Government
to improve and protect the health of
individual citizens, then we’ve
ready got something like it.
Texas is participating in the
gram to the tune of nearly
million dollars a year.
This is shown in a tabulation of U.
S. public health service contributions,
called grants-in-aid, furnished by the
Federal Security Agency to Senator
Tom Connally of Texas. >
By decision of Congress, which
authorized the program and appro-
priated the money, the FSA this fis-
cal year is spending nearly $114,000,-
000 in various public health services.
States and local communities imple-
ment these programs by contributing
their own funds to match Federal
money.
FSA allocates money for veneral
disease control, tuberculosis control,
cancer and heart disease research
and control, and it has just started a
program of contributing toward
preparation of plans for remedying
water pollution.
In addition, it gives money to
states, their counties and cities, for
construction of hospitals.
On top of these direct FSA public
health services, the Federal Govern-
ment also contributes to the care of
mothers, of children, of the crippled,
the blind and the aged.
Texas this fiscal year will get a to-
tal of $6,680,960 in Federal grants
through FSA for these programs:
Veneral disease control, $589,400.
Turcerculosis control, $185,254.
General health services, $753,438.
Mental health services, $178,000.
Heart, disease control, $92,287.
Cancer control, $160,212.
Hospital construction, $4,747,172.
Water pollution, a provisional al-
lotment of $30,197.
Part of this money, such as that
for cancer and heart disease control,
goes to Texas colleges, universities
and research institutions. The Fed-
eral Government pays to maintain
specified research projects, and also
contributes money for training per-
sonnel. This applies Jto the mental
health program, too.
FSA is distributing to states all
over the nation this fascal year a to-
tal of $113,647,000 for carrying on
these eight particular health pro-
grams.

By Rev. A. D. Jameson
This week from the spire of the
Methodist Church is coming celestial
music to comfort the troubled in
heart, the weary of mind, the dis-
tressed of soul. The rich music of
the chimes gladdens the hearts of
young and old in joyous tones
floods the community with hope and
faith. Over the housetops and tree-
tops, as though from another world
floats an invitation to worship God
in spirit and in truth. The Norton
Chimes Company and the Methodist
Church welcome your opinion con-
cerning these chimes.
The demonstration of the Norton
Chimes is a preview of the blessings
of The Preaching Mission which be-
gins at the Methodist Church Sept.
25 and continues through World Wide
Communion Sunday, Oct. 2. These
special services are designed to build
one’s faith in God and the church.
The people of Whitewright are in-
vited to attend these services each
evening at 7:30 throughout the week.

But, during the final
week of the session it sailed through
both houses almost without opposi-
tion.
A unique aspect of California’s
compulsory disability insurance pro-
gram is its provision permitting em-
ployees to insure with a private com-
pany or through self-insured em-
ployers. This is known as the “vol-
untary plan.”
Both the state-operated and the
“voluntary” plans are paid for
through one percent payroll deduc-
tions. Presently more than 26,000
“voluntary” plans have been ap-
proved by the state. They cover
about 40 percent of the labor force
subject to the law.
